The attribute Conforming Run Length (CRL) control chart has attracted increasing research interests in Statistical Process Control (SPC). It decides the process status based on the interval or distance between two nonconforming units. This article proposes a Generalized CRL chart (namely GCRL chart) for monitoring the mean of a measurable quality characteristic x under 100% inspection. To run a...

This article presents a control chart for time series data, based on the one-stepahead forecast errors of the Holt-Winters forecasting method. We use robust techniques to prevent that outliers affect the estimation of the control limits of the chart. Moreover, robustness is important to maintain the reliability of the control chart after the occurrence of alarm observations. The properties of t...

Process shift is an important input parameter in the economic design of control charts. Earlier x control chart designs considered constant shifts to occur in the mean of the process for a given assignable cause. This assumption has been criticized by many researchers since it may not be realistic to produce a constant shift whenever an assignable cause occurs. To overcome this difficulty...
